Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] new bd_mutex lockdep annotation

Andrew, please hold on this, Al Viro doesn't agree with it.

Calling get_gendisk() from bdget() changes the bdget() semantics too
much. For one it enables bdget() to load modules.

Al proposed the following approach. Neil can you agree with this too?

---
Avoid the nesting of bd_mutex by serializing the locks. This is made
easier by changing the ->bd_part_count rules, its now only changed for
the first openers/closers.
